When you were a child/teen what baby name were you going to 'definitely' use for future DC's?

[Kirstle]

...And did any of you actually use them?

You have to put the rough year too, so we can spot the trends, if any.

Me:

1991 (I was ten) I wanted Kylie and Trystin. Yes spelled like that. And Kylie had a heart above the 'i'. Ahem

1996 (fifteen) I wanted Phoebe Luna (had an interest in astronomy) and Maxwell Jordan.

Still love Phoebe now, the others...not so much!

I had some interesting name choices as a teenager, including Hecate Morgan and Kennedy Atlantis but I always wanted Harry for a boy and ended up with my 4 (lovely) girls - Julia Grace, Evelyn Lucy and Isabelle Rose

That should say 3 girls...3 is enough

Around 1993 I was definitely calling my girl Renee and my boy Perry. I did not use those names.

1970's, Bridget and Georgina. Two sister and I thought they has the most sophisticated names. Didn't use either in the end.

Liesl. As in The Sound of music.

And possibly also Keren.

Samuel, yes.

Most of 90s I wanted to call my children John and Jemma

After watching The notebook I wanted to call my son Noah

Didn't use any of them.

This is a very zombie thread

I had Molly picked out since my mum took me to see Ghost when I was 15, and stuck with it. Ironically I don't like the name now.
She's only ever referred to as Mol. She hates getting called Molly.
Never really had a name for a boy.

Early nineties, about 14, I was adamant that my children would be called Sapphire and Andromeda!

Jamie-Rose for a girl when I was about 12. I told my mum and she was horrified and said she was glad I wouldn't have children for a while! I wouldn't use a double barreled name now.

When I was 8 or so I liked Ashley for a girl, and Erryn ? for a boy.

In my teens I had a Greek mythology phase and liked Ariadne or Calliope for a girl and Zacchaeus or Corydon for a boy.

I don't have any DC yet but none of these names will be on the list

When I was a teenager I loved the movie The Lost Boys and the girl in it was called Star. I thought it was such a cool name and I would definitely name my daughter that if I had one. Well I had two and neither of them are called Star although when I was having dd2 dd1 suggested Star as a name but I wasn't brave enough to use it. I have now since realised there are lots of lovely names that mean star but we didn't use any of them either.

I also liked the name Kelsey as I had heard it in a tv programme but I didn't use that one either, I still like it though.

I didn't have any boy names as I was going to have girls and I did.

Sophronia, Calliope was a name that I had on my list for dd1 but everyone laughed at me and I lost my nerve. Still think it's a pretty name though. Our dd2 has a greek name but a different one.

Early 90's I wanted 4 girls
Ruby, Amber, Saffron and Jade

Had my 1st child in 96 but was a boy and never used any of the names

I do still really like them but Ruby and Jade have got to common now

Scarlett for a girl, Bowie for a boy. This would have been around 1990 when GWTW was my favourite book and I first started to love David Bowie!

I'm so glad I wasn't a teenage mum - not least because both those names are frightful!

Linnet I know a girl called Starr and always say 'Star, Star's good, I like Star' to her

Julie and Karen, because I was only going to have girls. I ended up with two boys and a girl and none of them are called either of those names.

Corydon

I read that as Croydon, and thought I had wandered into one of those 'Place of conception' threads!

Between the ages of 3 and 8 (early 90s-2000) I was going to call my children Thumbelina and Gaston

Funnily enough, Thumbelina hasn't made it onto the short list for DD due in July!

From primary school (left in 1982) I wanted Katherine, and I used it in 2000.

I chose the name in 1991 and used it.
